- Notes
- Irene went to Igerera B to continue with the gender roles and responsibilities but she decided to end the year with a door to door visit to the different homes, checking on the hygiene,observing for nutrition,pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and the general community health lifestyle. Irene visited different homes in the lower section of Igerera B where she met several mothers who were from their gardens and others had left for the routine antenatal visits. Aisha one of the mothers that Irene talked to came to Irene with her antenatal book asking for a few questions about the importance of antenatal visits and why they are requested to go back even after giving birth. Irene gave several explanations and there after explained as to why they needed to go for the visits and take their children for immunization. Irene also talked to the mother about hygiene, and eating a balanced diet especially during pregnancy. Further still Irene talked to several parents in the different homes about their hygiene and food storage since the dry season is setting in as to avoid malnutrition and starvation during the dry season. After the visit Irene asked the VHT to continue with the home visits and encouraging other members to keep their homes clean as she will be resuming their meetings next year.
